“Project Brief: To create a line of skin care products for an existing brand that is far removed from the world of cosmetics.

Brand: Omega SA is a luxury watchmaker based in Biel, Switzerland. Owned by the Swatch Group, it is one of the most known and recognized watch manufacturers in the world. Omega is defined by its pioneering spirit. Thus, I wanted to create a brand that is not only luscious and memorable, but also captures Omega’s long rich history. I decided on the name Gi (γη), which in modern Greek means Earth-—the origin of all human adventures.

Concept: Omega’s watch is the first and only watch that has ever been to the Moon. Thus, I chose Earth’s only natural satellite to be my main inspiration. The design is influenced by the magnificent scene of earth rise seen from the Moon. The project’s celestial palette was reduced to 3 main colors-—matte black, matte white, and pearlescent white. The bottles and jars are all in the basic shape of cylinders. Every effort was taken in order to make the typography the hero of the design. I wanted the type to look sophisticated and effortlessly beautiful to exhibit the luxury and timelessness of the brand, yet remain very modern and stylish to accommodate the young demographics. The in-store display was designed to follow the celestial theme. It was made to resemble one of the craters of the Moon that we can only get a glimpse of during the clearest of nights.”

“With the relevance of eco-friendly initiatives increasing every day, Lee wanted an innovative solution that would display their affiliation towards the same and also spread the message amongst their customers.

To drive the message home in a fun and effective way, we went for something a bit more inventive than just a bag made of recycled paper. The ‘Never Wasted’ shopping bag that can be reused in one way or another. Some for fun, some for function, but nothing ever goes into the trash. Not only did this make the idea long-lasting and interactive but also conveyed the message in a fascinating manner. Word spread, footfall increased and the initial production of 3000 bags went on to another 10,000.”

“In the year 2050, America’s national debt has reached an all-time high of 150 trillion dollars. As such, they have decided that they can no longer afford traditional foreign aid. Enter Foreign-Ade, a traditional American lemonade designed to win the hearts of the people we’re currently invading and terrorizing.

Foreign-Ade is patriotic, propaganda and Americana at it’s finest. Foreign-Ade has added electrolytes to convert the infidels to democracy. Scientists speculate that repeated exposure to the drink will actually spread democracy around the world. If nothing else, it quenches a wicked thirst and makes Americans feel better about themselves.”

Noo-Del is a playful and simpel packaging that will stand out on the shelves. The decor of a geisha refers to Asia and asian-food and the decor gets extra playful with the eating-sticks which gives the illusion of being the geishas hairpins. The effect is even more fun when you eat from the package!

The package is useful in several ways: it is easy to carry with, when adding water you can heat up the noodles in a microwave and eat direct from the the package which has a shape of a take-away-package when opening it

“We wanted to give the consumer something more then a box that gets thrown out, this envelope starts the Bellroy experience for them from the moment it hit’s their hands. Our packaging is post ready and the way it looks in the photos is the way it gets sent out. Plus use of card is a little softer on the environment too.”

“I was approached by the award winning team at South Australian based Udder Delights, to create a brand identity for their new range of cheese, Divine Dairy. Located in the pristine Adelaide Hills and sourcing local milk from local dairies, the artisan cheese maker that prides itself on quality, wanted a design to capture the rural, traditional and hand crafted methods used to create their ‘French Style’ product. The colour usage identifies each cheese, adds a modern touch to a traditional design and helps to establish a powerful and memorable brand in the market place. It continues to build with the product already selling well in gourmet stores, fruit and vegetable shops and independent grocers nationally.”

“Karey is a organic extra virgin olive oil of excellent quality, for fine restaurants and specialty shops. Its packaging communicates a consistent excellence and delicacy in accordance with the product it contains. The trademark Karey is the main element on the Labeling, a role that is only eclipsed by the typographical wink of the oil tear that is dropped by the letter “y.”
